I will rise from the dust of my past.
I will run to You, whose arms are open.
The tears well up within me,
to You alone I cry.
With this life I've been so foolish.
I have tried and I've fallen to shame.
I'm so far off I can't even see the end.
The tears well up within me,
to You alone I cry.
We're losing this battle, we've forgotten why we're here.
Growing tired of running the wrong way.
When it's dark and I'm tired (and I'm lost, help me!)
We will answer in time and all I ask of you...
(For when it is felt the most, to You alone I run.)
We will answer in time and all I ask of You,
is save me from this and I will follow after You.
The time for wallowing and self deceit is past.
It's time to remember the heights we once knew.
When we both arrive, I pray you know what it means to be alive.
We will answer in time and all I ask of You,
is save me from this and I will follow after You.
